Butadyl® Gloves – Advanced Protection for Demanding Environments
Discover the exceptional performance and unmatched protection of Butadyl® gloves, specially designed for laboratory researchers and glovebox workstation operators. Our gloves are crafted to meet the highest standards of safety and durability, ensuring you have the best protection available.
What is Butadyl®?
For the past 20 years, Butadyl® has established itself as a cost-effective, high-performance alternative to traditional butyl and Hypalon gloves. Our gloves provide reliable and durable solutions for professionals in various demanding environments. Whether you are working with strong chemicals, microorganisms, or chemotherapy drugs, Butadyl® gloves offer the protection and dexterity you need.
Butadyl® is a modified carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene compound developed by polymerizing butadiene, acrylonitrile, and methacrylonitrile. Additional polymers are added to reach our unique formula. Available in two versions, our original Butadyl®, and our newly developed high-performance Butadyl® Black, these polymers are conceived to address the ever -changing needs of the glove box work.
Compared to some gloves on the market that are only tested/certified for a few chemicals, Butadyl® is certified for 20 different compounds.
Butadyl® operations are proudly based in the USA, ensuring exceptional quality and fast lead times. Unlike other companies that ship from overseas locations such as China or Malaysia, we can manufacture, package, and ship most orders within 2-5 business days, with some even dispatched the same day.
Avoid the long 2-4 month wait times typical of international shipping — our efficient operations ensure your order is on its way to you by the end of the week.

These gloves also have UKCA and CE certifications, confirming their safety and quality according to European and UK regulations, making them perfect for labs and medical facilities.
EN 388 ensures gloves protect against mechanical risks, while EN ISO 374:2016 covers protection against chemicals and microorganisms, with five parts:
EN 374-1: Protective Gloves Against Chemicals and Micro-Organisms
EN 374-2: Testing Resistance to Penetration
EN 374-3: Testing Resistance to Chemical Permeation (now EN 16523)
EN 374-4: Testing Resistance to Chemical Degradation
EN 374-5: Terms and Performance for Micro-Organism Risks
Butadyl® gloves meet all these standards, providing reliable protection against hazardous chemicals and microorganisms. They also comply with ASTM D6978-05 for handling hazardous drugs, including chemotherapy agents, ensuring high-level protection for healthcare professionals and researchers working with toxic substances.
Butadyl® is the only glovebox glove that meets all these stringent standards while remaining cost-effective. We offer a low lead time to ensure quick delivery, and our operations are based in the USA, supporting local industry and ensuring consistent quality.
